Final Creative Experiment

Assignments asks students to make something with the semester-long collection or from inspiration derived from the collection. The project needed to be conceptual and presented in a way that is experimental and unpredictable.

Collection #1 (Fall 2020-Spring 2021)

Semester-long project: Identify a meaningful theme or concept. Then collect or do something with careful focus, repeatedly, 75 times in 3 months. During one of these weeks, do something 25 times or gather 25 objects that relate to the theme. Document the objects or experiences visually and identify what they are. How might you change? What might you learn?
